No. Bunnings does not sell Haymes paint. Bunnings stocks Dulux, British Paints and Taubmans, but Haymes is sold through independent paint stores and Haymes stockists, not through the big-box chains. If you have your heart set on a Haymes colour, you will need to find a local stockist rather than your nearest Bunnings.
Where to buy Haymes paint in Melbourne
Haymes is an Australian family-owned paint company based in Ballarat, and it sells mainly through independent channels:
- Independent paint specialists and trade paint stores
- Selected Mitre 10 and independent hardware stores
- The stockist finder on the Haymes website (search by postcode)
Because Haymes keeps its distribution boutique rather than big-box, availability varies suburb to suburb. Ring ahead before you drive across town for a specific range or colour.
What Bunnings stocks instead
At Bunnings the premium brand you will find is Dulux, alongside British Paints and Taubmans. For most Melbourne homeowners that is no bad thing. Dulux is a genuine premium brand with a wide colour range and consistent quality. We compare the two properly in Dulux vs Haymes: what Melbourne painters use.
| Brand | Sold at Bunnings? | Where to buy |
|---|---|---|
| Dulux | Yes | Bunnings and trade outlets |
| Haymes | No | Independent stockists, Haymes finder |
| Taubmans | Yes | Bunnings |
| British Paints | Yes | Bunnings |
What we use, and why
Painting your place soon? Modernize Solutions has painted Melbourne homes since 1987, exclusively with Dulux. Get a free written quote and we sort the paint, the prep and the finish.
We use Dulux as standard on every job. Part of the reason is practical: it is available at Bunnings and trade outlets right across Melbourne, so if we need another tin mid-project we can get the exact product and colour the same day, with no delay to your repaint. Haymes is a good paint, but its boutique distribution makes mid-project restocking harder on a working site.
Whatever brand ends up on your walls, the finish depends far more on the preparation underneath and the hand applying it than on the logo on the tin. That is the part we take seriously. If you are weighing up a repaint, it helps to understand the real factors behind house painting cost in Melbourne before you compare quotes.
